OK - I just copied and pasted your text. It's not highlighted.

Then I went back and copied your original post URL (at the very top of the page), pasted it down here in the "Optional Link URL" box, then named it "Your original post" in the "Link Title" box. Confused? I am, ha. . .

Another better example: Using JDSellers post above yours, I copied his URL into the "Optional Link URL" box, then named it "JDSeller's post" in the "Link Title" box.

I don't think you can copy common text and have it highlighted in your message. Someone correct me (and show us how) if I'm wrong.
JDSellers post

Old school way to copy and paste, before the mouse was invented.

First highlight what you want to copy. That can be done with the arrows and the shift key. OR dray your mouse over what you want highlighted while pushing on the left key of mouse

Second, to copy push down on control, Ctrl, and hit "C" at the same time. Old school command for copy.

Third, move cursor to where you want to paste, then push down on Ctrl and "V". That's the command for paste.

FYI, old shcool command for cut is Ctrl and "X".

Try it. You can type your post else where on most word processors, spell check it, copy and paste it on YT reply.

I copy pictures just by dragging them to my Desktop.

the way I do it is to move the mouse to the upper left corner of the text you wish to copyand hold the left mouse button down while dragging the mouse down to the bottom of the text you want to copy and release the left mouse button, then push the right mouse button and a menu will pop up click on copy, go to where you want to paste and right click again chose paste and your text should appear there at that time.

You cannot copy and paste an article or posting from this website I have found out.

Here's a pic in case you need any clarification of the steps mentioned below. (Took me awhile to figure out some steps on this site...so made some to help people.)

You can right-click on it, select copy... then paste it into a word document so you can stretch it big enough to read more easily.

YES YOU CAN, just right mouse click on the item you want to copy, on the drop-down menu click "Save image as..." and copy it to your photo album.

Try this !

Now that's strange, the first time it copied the URL link as a URL link, but now it won't repeat itself.
